Amelia Earhart flew solo across the Atlantic and she disappeared while attempting to fly around the world. Y'all knew that, right? Well, did you also know that besides being a pilot, Earhart was also a social worker, a truck driver, a nurse's assistant, and a writer for Cosmo? Did you know that today only 6% of licensed pilots are women? Did you know that some theories about Earhart's disappearance say she might have been a spy or that she might have been captured by the Japanese?

An accessible and interesting biography of one of America's most famous women. This DK biography sports fantastic photos on every page that give the book a lot of color and pizazz. I'll definitely be looking for more biographies in this series. ( )
